About

GAIT TRC strives to promote independence and self-confidence for people with special needs through the use of adaptive riding and horsemanship skills. Volunteers are essential to the success of GAIT’s programs and to enriching the lives of participants.

GAIT depends on its volunteers to not only help run a safe and successful program, but also to foster the bonds between horse and rider for their therapeutic benefit. Volunteers assist PATH Intl. Certified Instructors during therapeutic riding classes and act as a member of a team with the horse and rider to help achieve their goals.

GAIT’s most popular program, Therapeutic Riding, runs from Jan- Nov and relies heavily on the assistance of volunteers to ensure a safe, fun, and educational experience for the riders involved.

Volunteers tend to work in outdoor conditions for extended periods of time, work with large animals, and work with individuals with a wide range of special needs. TR classes are scheduled on Monday evenings, Wednesday evenings, and Saturday mornings.
